Family of dying gallery owner seeks home for African Art

Ernest “Ernie” Wolfe III, a prominent Los Angeles art collector known for his extensive African art collection, is confronting the challenge of disposing of approximately 15,000 artworks following a traumatic brain injury that has left him unable to speak or move. His family is seeking to find a suitable home for the collection, which includes masks, sculptures, posters, and ritual objects from Africa, some of which have controversial origins. They hope to place parts of it in museums or cultural institutions, with particular interest in returning some works to their countries of origin, while Wolfe’s collection continues to be recognized for its significance and uniqueness in African art.
